My ancestor Ethan Allen STARK (1820, Grafton Co., NH - 29 Dec. 1890, Viroqua, WI) m1. Nancy FLETCHER (9 Mar. 1822, Gardiner, ME - 22 Nov. 1905, ME) d/o Lemuel FLETCHER & Elizabeth KITCHIN. They had (my great-grandfather)
1. Lemuel Jeduthan STARK (4 Oct. 1845, Grafton Co., NH - 13 Oct. 1924, Salem, McCook Co., SD) m. 1 Jan. 1874, Viroqua, Amanda COOK
&
2. Ethan Allen STARK (1849, Lowell, MA - 18 Jan. 1932, Vernon Co., WI, bu. Brush Hollow) m. 2 Je. 1877, Webster, WI, Delilah M. / Delia DEWITT. He's buried near his children Elizabeth (2 Mar. 1878 - 1 Apr. 1882) & Nathan (14 Mar. 1880 - 1 Apr. 1882).
My older family members remember when Ethan (Jr.) would drop by for an extended visit in Salem, SD. I found newspaper notices of divorce proceedings for Ethan Allen STARK & Delilah, 1884 & 1885, and, I was told that they separated because they couldn't get over the deaths of their children. Do you know any more about Delia / Delilah?
